Dunnlte Proves Superior to Shlmoaa.
With Which Japan Won Har
Groat Naval Victories.
GET ALONG WITHOUT ZIMMER.
Nsw York, Aug. 24 The Times to
day says:
"The experiments at the Sandy Hook
proving gronnds with Dunnite, tbe high
explosive invented by Major Dunn, of
the Ordnarjce corpa, V. 8. A., have
proved that tbe United States possesses
in Dunnite the secret ol an explosive
psrhape more powerful and destructive
than any other explosive ever invented.
"Donnito, army officers tay, ia more
poweriui man ehimose, the explosive
witn wntcn the Japanese did such ter
rifle execution in tbe naval battles off
Port Arthur and Vladivostok and in the
Sea of Japan. Shimose ordnance offi
cers say the explosive is a compound of
picric acid, the secret oi which is known
to the ordnance officers of all the flrat-
claaa powers. On the other hand, the
secret of Dunnite 5s in the exclusive
possession of the United States govern
ment.
"In the resent teats of Dunnite
Sandy Hook it Is said that the very best
five and six-inch armor plates that
could be obtained were used as target.
The result ol every shot was Uie same,
The armor plate waa smashed into
thoocanda ot small pieces, it is said, by
tneir impact. The impact ol Uie Dun
nits is also an that is necessary to ac
complish tho destruction of the target
V enetration ia not neceseary;the impact
being inch that tbe armor ia shattered
into countless pieces.
' lbe droning of a Dunnite shell on
the deck of a battleship, it ia said by
many ordnance officers, would mean the
immediate ainking of that ship, not by
penetration 01 its vital parts, but slm
ply by racking the vessel nntil her
ins opened snd the in rash of water
sent her to tbe bottom. This, it ia said
by some ordnance officers, waa tha way
that Uie Japanese put the Russian ship
ont of commission. They would drop
tne enimose shells on the decks, and
the destructive Shimose did Uie rest.
SAIL8 NEXT DECEMBER.
Roosevelt Will Send Only Six Battle
ships to Pacific.
New Tork, Aug. 24. Secretary Loeb
announced tonight that a fleet ot aix
battleships will start for the Pacific
some Ume in December via the Straits
ot Magellan, touching at San Francisco
also probably at Paget sound.
A destroyer flotilla will leave for the
Pacific about the tamo time, but will
not accompany tbe battleships.
in is is tne nrst positive announce
ment of the date when the battleship
fleet will sail for the Pacific coast. The
first announcement waa made by Secre
tary of Uie Navy Metcalf on July 4, and
the details were given out the following
day, but Uie date of departure was only
given vaguely aa some time in tbe fall
It was stated in July that 16 battle
ships four cruisers and the gunboat
Torktown would come through Magel
lan straits, but the above dipatch aaya
only aix battleships are coming. Thia
may be an error in transmission, which
it is impossible to have corrected in the
present condition of the telegraph serv
ice, it is quite probable, however,
that the number six is correct and
that tha number has been cut down.
either because the government thought
it nowise to ao nearly denude tha At
lantic coast of battleships or because it
waa desired to deprive"the movement of
any appearance 01 a hostile demonstra
tion against Japan.
Assuming that the fleet starts on its
voyage about tbe middle of December,
it should arrive at San Francisco about
Uie middle of February, 1908. as 60
days is considered ample time for the
voyage. ,,- ..
